Mine was breeched but she turned in the last month. They did an ultrasound at around 36 weeks to see where she was at. Sometimes it's hard to tell because of the way they're moving. I did tons of yoga in hopes that downward dog would help her flip!

You have plenty of time.

There's still quite a bit of time for him to turn. My doctors could tell when LO had turned by feeling my belly. They could feel all of her body parts, but I had no clue what was going on in there Cat dog stretches can help get him locked into position!

@ladyfingers: Harper was definitely breech until around 30 weeks. She would hiccup above my belly button... Her head squashed my lungs and I literally had to prop myself up at night on like 400 pillows because if I laid down, she went into my diaphragm and I honestly got scared about how little air I could breathe in. One day, she moved around a TON, and I noticed when I laid down to read in bed before propping up that I was not suffocating. I could breathe! The next time I had a dr's appt, the dr felt all around and agreed with me that she was flipped. It's been confirmed with u/s now, but you definitely have plenty of time for baby to flip:) Hopefully it will happen soon so it'll be a lot more comfortable!

Mine is breech too! It'll be interesting to see if/when either or both of ours turn and when since we are a few weeks apart! I have always felt kicks way low, and definitely lots in my bladder. Sometimes I have an urge to pee so intense that I'm stunned - but then it's gone, lol. I have this weird feeling that she's not going to turn for me. Maybe I'm just trying to mentally prepare for a c-section, I don't know. I would think we'll be able to tell if they turn, as they are getting bigger in there but my doctor said they'll just check as it gets closer. IDK if that means U/S or manually?

yeah, my OB said that they usually check around 34 weeks because they are still moving around. you have plenty of time!

@ladyfingers: My Baby turned herself breech at about 34-35 weeks and I had a successful External Cephalic Version performed at 38 weeks so I was able to avoid a scheduled c-section (I also had an anterior placenta and baby was extended breech).

You still have plenty of time for Baby to turn but if you end up with a breech baby, although being slightly uncomfortable my ECV wasn't painful at all and even though I wasn't great case, it was definitely worth a shot to have Baby manually turned!

Feel free to message me if you end up wanting any more info about the ECV.

Mine was breech—we did moxabustion, acupuncture, Webster technique, all to no avail. They ultrasound you and then I had a scheduled c-section. I chose not to do a ECV. But you have a while.

My friend's baby was determined to be breech at her 36 week appt. They did everything they could to turn her/let her turn on her own (including accupuncture and trying to turn her from the outside) and when she was 39? Weeks they finally scheduled her C section.
I think most times they wait quite a while to make sure baby won't turn on its own. You have SO much time- your baby will probably flip and spin a lot in the next few weeks because they still have tons of room to move at this point!

That's plenty early, don't worry yourself! My baby was transverse for quite a while and didn't officially settle head-down/LOA until about 32w. The babies are still so small then, it's easy to move around.

(I say that, but I totally had a minor freakout about baby being in transverse position around 30w. So speaking from my personal experience...you're probably worrying for nothing, haha!)

My midwives use palpation to determine the positioning of the baby, and listen for the heartbeat after they've determined the position. I keep track myself by belly mapping, hiccups, and wiggles/kicks.
